wow so today is the dreaded or anticipated day of finality. this paper is done and on to the next. As I look back over the fall break we were privileged to hav I cant help but say that it was well timed. on the Monday of our break I experienced a slight pain and tenderness in my left knee. Since my family and I had visited the pumpkin patch on the day prior, I presumed I had twisted it and just not felt anything. I iced my knee once and took a Tylenol. on the Tuesday of our break I awoke to a massive swollen knee joint that appeared to be bruised. I attempted to ambulate to the kitchen and quickly found that moving did not help. I treated the symptoms and made an apt for late Tuesday evening at my primary care physicians office. after a brief, disheartening consult my doctor decided to drain my knee. FYI that sucked. a 3 inch needle almost as girthy as a green bean and a handful of empty serynges. After removing nearly 130 cc of yellowish fluid I could bend my knee. I made my way home and into the house where I started the long two day recovery to full health. luckily I had most of those days off work. to bad my laptop is down and I couldn't type all week and still stay in the bed. anywho, see you all in class TATA
